Really Old Water Pulled From a Rock (geode) Under a Microscope!

About a year ago I cracked open a geode with water inside. People lost their minds! I eventually cracked two others and had the water put under a microscope. Here are most of the slides from that. The water is filled with a variety of silica minerals (mostly quartz), some calcite, and some iron oxide and hydroxide minerals. The slides are under various magnifications as well as various lenses and lighting (lots of polarized lighting shots). Regardless, these were just so much fun and I just wanted to share them somewhere! Anyway if you are interested in more you can find me at http://mooneyfinemineral.com - or at pretty much any other social media platform!
